president trump digs coal. we're going to unlock our country's amazing natural resources. not just coal, shale, you name it. lower energy costs more jobs, growth and more opportunity for american families and american businesses. and folks, under president donald trump, we're also going to rebuild america. if you haven't noticed it, the american people elected a builder to be president of the united states. and with his hire american/buy american strategy, we're going to give our nation the best roads, the best bridges, the best highways and airports that america has ever had. thanks to president trump, we're going to have jobs and growth and prosperity like never before. but you know, making america great again isn't just about our economy. it also means standing with those who are protecting our communities, our nation and protecting our way of life. you know, i can tell you, i'm with him every day, president trump has no higher priority than the safety and security of the american people. that's why the pres

"the 11th hour" begins now. >>> good evening tonight from washington, d.c. i'm joy reid in -for-brian williams who has the night off. today was day 99 of the trump presidency. trump may have 99 problems but getting the love from his base ain't one. first up, a trip to atlanta for a speech to the national rifle association where trump the president sounded more like trump the candidate serving up that red meat to the crowd. >> november 8th. wasn't that a great evening? do you remember that evening? remember that? and remember they said there is no path to 270. for months i was hearing that. you know, they are trying to suppress the vote. i have a feeling that in the next election you are going to be swamped with candidates. it may be pocahon

., friday but justin amash cast additional shade for donald trump responding to trump's earlier attack on the freedom caucus, for the central role they played in tanking one of trump's key campaign promises to repeal and replace obamacare. on thursday morning, the president tweeted, "the freedom caucus will hurt the entire republican agenda if they don't get on the team and fast. we must fight them and dems in 2018!" trump's declaration of war against the gop's most conservative wing, formerly known as the tea party, prompted this response from amash. "it didn't take long for the swamp to drain real donald trump. no shame, mr. president, almost everyone succumbs to the d.c. establishment." then trump decided to get specific and singled out individual freedom caucus members, meadows, jim jordan and rau labrador. then things got really ugly. trump's social media director took to twitter to summon the power of the trump train to defeet amash in a primary challenge. which might prove a bit tricky because the freedom caucus members were the original anti-government, anti-establishment outsi

so eric trump, or donald trump could say that the missile attack proves that donald trump is independent of vladimir putin. he could have advised donald trump to do the missile attack because he then would be able to say that or have one of his sons say that. we don't know the real motivation of that missile attack by the united states. we only know what donald trump says, and donald trump is a repeated proven pathological liar, so we don't know why that missile strike occurred. here is a bit of an interview with fox news that the network released tonight before showing it in its entirety tomorrow. >> when i see people using horrible, horrible chemical weapons, which they agreed not to use under the obama administration, but they violated it. >> they said they got rid of them. >> what i did should have been done by the obama administration a long time before i did it. and you would have had a much better, i think, syria would be a lot better off right now than it has been. >> makes sense. if you think that makes sense, remember that the same donald trump saw chemical weapons used in syri

donald trump says get them out of here, and you vote for donald trump. why vote for donald trump? >> this is the first time i've ever confsed publicly i've ever voted for him. i've dodged the question for a few months. the alternative was unthinkable. continued presser from the federal government was squeezing us out. the big issue was water. we got no help from washington during the drought. so continuation of what we had was unthinkable. >> reporter: but trump if he takes regulation away, he's also going to take your workers away. how do you agree with that the. >> well, this is where i disagree with him. so we need a solution for the whole country where we can bring people out of the shadows so we don't have this problem. >> well, now you sound like a democrat. you're confusing me. >> well, this is messy. and the farmers aren't in lock step. you get five farmers together, you get five different opinions. so i have no problem voting for the president and disagreeing with him on trade immigration, because i think he's wrong on these issues. >> reporter: he says if the work force

trump has done that. i am a trump supporter even though i am an independent. if the democrats give him a -- he, he will do that needs republicans because he is fighting but of them. he needs to be given a chance like obama was given a chance. see what will happen. i will give you an idea, kimberly. i have been trying to get a presidential pardon from obama to trump. it would be nice if you do something on presidential pardons. god bless you as c-span. i appreciate you. host: john is calling in from new richmond, ohio, on our republican line. good morning. caller: good morning. how are you doing today? host: i am good. what do you think about the president's foreign-policy? caller: is very sound. -- it is very sound. all the people he has put on his staff, he knows what he is doing. i have sure it will be measured. thank you. -- i am sure it will be measured. thank you. host: one member of his team he has assembled is nikki haley, you and ambassador -- u.n. ambassador. she says regime change will happen in syria. nikki haley said saturday that regime change in

it began with trump accusing president obama of tapping his wires in trump tower. and days later in a very public humiliation of the president, fbi director james comey was compelled to say there is no evidence to support the trump claim. and oh, by the way the fbi is investigating the trump campaign for possible collusion with the russians to tip the 2016 election in their favor. then there is the one-man drama that is house intelligence committee chairman and former trump transition member republican devin nunes. he tried to help trump find evidence to back his surveillance claims and instead triggered a torrent of questions about him. like why is he working with the trump white house instead of investigating it? and who let him on to white house grounds? it's a story so strange that even fellow republicans today say they couldn't write this novel. and we haven't even yet mentioned the debacle that was the defeat of trumpcare. over the course of the next hour, we'll bring you a team of experts. we'll get to the bottom of what happened today. what is the next shoe

trump uses a lot. in fact he uses a number of superlatives in his remarks. >> one of the biggest political events anywhere in the world is happening right now in the republican party. >> it was the biggest electoral college win since ronald reagan. the biggest thing on the internet, one of the big things on the internet was that trump was 100% right about brussels. we're going to have the biggest tax cut since ronald reagan. the biggest increase in murder in 45 years, you don't hear that, this is the biggest political scandal since watergate. we have the biggest crowds in the history of inaugural speeches. and we have by far the biggest rallies that people have seen. >> if someone is described as the biggest, the best or the most, the question for this panel, kirsten, it is interesting that the president always uses these terms and after a while, they start to kind of lose value. >> he's very hyper bollic, he exaggerates a lot, i think he builds things up a lot, but i do think the things he finds to be

donald trump, show your taxes. [applause] it is our country. whether we are christian, jewish, muslim, atheist, is our country. donald trump, show, you're it, texas. show, your, taxes. it is our country. ia orr we are lgbtq straight. donald trump, show your taxes. [applause] it is our country whether we are black, brown, or indigenous, or asian, or whether we are white and, donald trump, we demand that you. crowd: show your taxes. >> mr. trump, it is our country and we are here to reclaim it to reclaim itnny, from your exclusion and hate. to reclaim it from the defensiveness that you have divided in this country. ,r. donald trump, show, your texas. -- taxes. show your taxes. show your taxes. show your taxes. show your taxes. show your taxes. show your taxes. show your taxes. show your taxes. >> are you fired up? are you ready to march? are you fired up? are you ready to march? woo! me too. before we march, there were be marks along the route to guide you. if you are driving, all the rows are up -- open in the oppos

trump foundation signed personally by donald j. trump. this is one of the single biggest donations pam bondi got in that whole campaign cycle. sure enough, a few weeks later, voila, pam bondi's office announced they would not have florida join that fraud suit against trump university. it was very tidy. very tidy little timeline. compared to a lot of other important things that get decided by politicians, even life or death things, this seems very tied y right? this seems not at all random. this seems not at all arbitrary. this seems direct. but wait, it keeps going. because, first, that story made news, right, because they were delaying an execution, which didn't make sense on the surface for republican politicians who were crusading to kill more prisoners faster, faster, faster, that they would want to slow one down. then it made news because they found out the reason for the delay was pam bondi had a fund-raiser. then that story made news after that because pam bondi took in one of the biggest donations to her campaign that year from so

get ready for trump anomices. >> we're returning power back to the people. >> reporter: president trump is unveiling a tax plan that would be a boon to big business and potentially make the deficit go boom. >> so this is going to be the biggest tax cut and the largest tax reform in the history of our country. and we are committed to seeing this through. >> reporter: the white house tax plan includes what officials are calling tax relief for middle income families and help with child care costs through the tax code, as well as a massive reduction in the corporate tax rate. the tax relief for middle income families would create three basic tax rates whi. the trump administration would pay for those cuts by eliminating some deductions but not on mortgages or charitable giving, raising the big question raised by fellow republicans, just how is the white house going to pay for any of it? >> again, as i think we've said, we're working on lots of details as to this. we have over 100 people in the treasury that have been working on tax and scoring lots of different scenarios. this will pay for

it's a grand trump-sized gift to the wealthy marked paid in full, donald trump. get ready to hear the bragging now about how big a gift it is. so guess who he's up against? last night in a surprise videotaped address to the international ted conference in vancouver, pope francis had a message for world leaders. quote, act humbly. quote, allow me to say it loud and clear, the pope said. the more powerful you are, the more your actions will have an impact on people. the more responsible you are to act humbly. humility is in short supply. of course for the man living at 1600 pennsylvania avenue. let's watch. >> there has never been a presidency that's done so much in such a short period of time. >> we had a massive crowd of people. >> here's a picture of the crowd. now, the audience was the biggest ever, but this crowd was massive. look how far back it goes. >> this was the largest audience to ever witness an inauguration, period, both in person and around the globe. >> that speech was a home run. >> they loved it. they gave me a standing ovation for a long period o

trump has proven reticent. no white house statement. jim mattis released a statement that said he is aware, but had no further comment and no tweets about north korea though trump has tweeted five times since that last night. the rare quiet moments do stand out. the chinese philosopher said silence shows great strength and one observed said it's the weak who starts riots and the strong move quiet. is trump taking that approach? does the calm after the storm reflect the limits of tough talk? or look, there are other possibilities. maybe this is another one of those fleeting tactics in a foreign policy that seems to only react to other countries' actions without thinking through and planning out an action plan of its own. now we'll talk about the politics of all this in a moment. but first, on the foreign policy questions i want to go to msnbc analyst rich stengel, former diplomat in the obama administration and gordon chang, author of "nuclear showdown." rick, what do you make of the silence as of 5:02 p.m. eastern? >> i approve of the s

meanwhile, donald trump's adult son eric trump cited mounting tensions between the u.s. and russia as evidence that top trump associates were not colluding with russia to sway the 2016 election. in an interview with the telegraph, eric trump said -- "if there was anything that syria did, it was to validate the fact that there is no russia tie." eric trump's comment came as the ap reported donald trump's former campaign manager, paul manafort, will register with the justice department retroactively as a foreign agent for lobbying he carried out between 2012 and 2014 on behalf of of a pro-russian ukrainian think tank. the revelation came a day after a bunk with washington post" reported the fbi obtained a secret fisa warrant to monitor the communications of trump adviser carter page last summer , arguing carter was acting as a russian agent. president trump said he ordered last week's tomahawk missile attack over a dessert of chocolate cake with visiting chinese president xi jinping. trump made the remarks in an interview broadcast wednesday by fox business. pres. trump: w

and he stayed on the line for over seven hours to slam trump. >> i am moving to argentina, and if trump is going to bring us into war, there is no hope for america. >> reporter: no hope for america or alt-right supporters who are suddenly wondering if their president is a dove or a hawk. >> randi is joining us. any blowback for these people saying things about trump online? >> paul watson took a hit online, and he know tused that his followers fell, and he was not on the trump train, and he had a trail of tweets to walk them back and he noticed that he was losing the followers and tweeted out that he is indeed off of the trump train for syria, but he has not turned on trump, and then of course, he blamed the media for making it look that way, anderson. >> thank you, randi. >>> coming up, president trump said it is a great honor that neil gorsuch was confirmed within his first 100 days in office. and staffers are working feverishly to work to brand these first 100 day, and including breaking tout whiteboards. that is next. >>> and also a a passenger nightmare after a pas ssenger w dragge

>> to buy. >> how do they feel about trump? >> they cautiously like trump. all of these countries -- first of all they love the fact that trump is seen to be a more stout secondly tound -- the extent that trump will go hard against terrorism and even against radical islamic terrorism. of the gulfne monarchs, he do not have that much of a problem with that. also think, the lack of focus on human rights -- obama talks a great game, did not do very -- very much in the region, but he didn't limit some of the weapons sales to buy rain. the trump administration is saying, no, let's go back and give you whatever you need. those things make them comfortable. clearly, they are also unsettled at how much they do not know. the owners for concerned about the southern laptop ban which they thought was more than helping american air carriers that are getting crushed by people like emirates airlines trade than they thought it was really about security. i do think they are concerned about what happens if kids going to american universities, extreme vetting when they come in

trump and he and mr. ryan say, it should add to the deficit, but it should be a tax cut and sold to the american people as such. ron is shaking his head here. maya, do you think the republicans need to forget about the pay forces right now? >> i think it's just real and really dangerous to the economy. so the most important thing about tax reform again is structuring so it that it will grow the economy. two critical things have been found to help with economic growth. one, actually not grong the debt massively. if your tax reform grows the debt the pro growth effects of the tax reform are undermined by the negative growth effects of a ballooning debt to the point where your tax reform could be negative. a second find the base broadening stuff, the part of getting rid of a lot of the tax breaks that helps grow the economy as well because so many of those tax breaks distort how we allocate capital. it incentivizes us to put money in places that aren't best for economic growth. they' they're part of this imp

and we don't know what trump will do on this. he obviously is surrounded by people who have explained to him how huge this threat is, and that has certainly settled in. if you talk to people that have been talking to him in recent days, there's a very, you know, jittery feeling about what could happen here and what happens when you have two enormous egos like this in opposition to one another. donald trump, of course, campaigned on an american first policy. but you're seeing all these global crises unfold, and he clearly is trying to step into that role. >> i'm wondering, bakari, north korea's promise of a merciless response. is this president trump's biggest foreign policy challenge? >> if you look during the transition process when barack obama and donald trump were having these conversations, the 44th president of the united states told donald trump that the greatest threat he would have to facehe foreign policy arena was a nuclear north korea. the a.p. came out with an amazing article today about any actions we may have. we'r

ivanka trump does it's so built in. you pointed out 60% but it's not just about policy, people, women, see donald trump as a disgusting human being, that he does not treat women with respect and that's baked in. >> paris, women did -- a lot of women did vote for him? >> that's the absolutely true. a lot of women did vote for him and a lot of women support him and a lot of women who have historically worked for him in the highest offices within the trump organization when he was a businessman feel something different and i would also challenge maria. i do not believe that ivanka trump is irrelevant, and i am tired of liberals and i am tired of pundits coming on network television and demeaning the work of these women who happen to be republican or happen to be working for the trump administration and calling them irrelevant. she has a voice. she has a powerful voice and she has an influence and she's relevant and we should celebrate that. >> paris -- >> we haven't seen it. >> why weren't you tired of the president demean

president trump. >> shannon: so you're saying that much of the media in france functions like it does in the u.s. and president trump tweeted another terrorist attack in paris after the tragic shooting say the people of france won't take much more of this. big effect on the presidential election. now that we're down to two how does the issue factor into the may 7th vote? >> there are two weeks to go and 21 terrorist attacks of varying size that have happened in france since 2015. so the odds of another one happening between now and may 7th are quite high. i've seen obama backing macron, mrs. merkel backing macron. the european commission backing macron. the polls say she is 20 points behind. this man, macron, has never been elected to anything, never been tested under fire. i listened to his speech last night and it was -- he had no policy at all other than to say he will defend the status quo and i'll make one prediction. the 20-point gap will narrow considerably over the course of the next two weeks

donald trump often appears on fox which is ironic because fox often appears on donald trump's head. donald trump said he has a great relationship with the blacks. though unless the blacks are a family of white people, i bet he's mistaken. >> oh, the memories. that's a little context for why donald trump may not be there tonight. why did he choose harrisburg, pennsylvania over washington, d.c.? the president arguing this is a place to connect with real americans. he's also using this as a chance to contrast his arguments against what he sees as a main stream media out to get him. a new op-ed hit the washington post within the last hour by the president titled in my first hundred days i ept can my promise to americans. we'll have more on that as well. jacob rascon live at the rally talking to trump supporters and we have a power panel with me in washington as well as from around the country. starting with you, jacob. what are you seeing out there at the rally and the hundred days. is it a mood that feels typical of other rallies or something different? >> reporter: the campaign, maybe

congressman elijah cummings now wants to know what the trump transition and the trump white house new about flynn's failure to properly disclose those payments and when they knew it. today, u.s. congressman cummings accused the mouwhite house of obstructing, threatening to use a subpoena to get documents. >> these guys are playing games. when you see mr. spicer, you can tell him i said that today. they're playing games. they have told us they have documents, and then they said executive privilege. then they said some of them are before the inauguration. if we cannot come to a conclusion there and get the documents, then they'll have to be subpoenaed. >> reacting to questions about flynn's failure to disclose those foreign payments, sean spicer today blamed the obama administration because flynn renewed his security clearance before trump took office. >> are you satisfied with the vetting that was done of general flynn by the transition team before he came on board as the national security adviser? >> the issue is, you know, he was issued a security clearance under the obama administra

and i ended up voting for trump. >> 12 michigan counties, 37-year-old sean had never -- we, the entertainment-loving people, want all our rooms to be tv rooms. because those are the best rooms. because they have tvs in them. and, when we're not in those rooms, we want our shows to go with us. anywhere? you got that right, kid show thing. get a directv all-included package for 4 rooms. only $25 a month, price guaranteed for 2 years. available for at&t unlimited plus customers. he's a nascar champion who's she's a world-class swimmer who's stared down the best in her sport. but for both of them, the most challenging opponent was... pe blood clots in my lung. it was really scary. a dvt in my leg. i had to learn all i could to help protect myself. my doctor and i choose xarelto® xarelto®... to help keep me protected. xarelto® is a latest-generation blood thinner... ...that's proven to treat and reduce the risk of dvt and pe blood clots from happening again. in clinical studies, almost 98% of patients on xarelto® did

>> i have to tell you, ivanka trump is donald trump's most effective messenger. and you've seen donald trump suffer with his poll numbers, having ivanka trump out there talking about his message, i think it's a very positive step for this administration. >> that'll do it for the panel but stay tuned for a kicker that just might knock your socks off. ..t might knock your socks off. >> finally tonight it has been said that time waits for no man unless that man is chuck norris. it has further been said that where some men where superman pajamas, superman wears chuck norris pajamas. in recognition of these singular qualities, the oklahoma born action hero known for his starring role in walker texas ranger has been awarded a gavel by the lone star state and the title of honorary texan. the senate resolution passed unanimously because that's how chuck rolls. the 77-year-old actor accepted the honor along with his wife gina. thanks for watching special report. i am james rosen in for bret baier. good night from washington, the first hundred days featuring martha maccall

trump on his november victory. wednesday will have an exclusive interview with the egyptian leader right here on "special report." senate judiciary committee has sent the nomination of president trump's supreme court pick to the full senate. that sets up what is shaping up as at least a week of debate, conflict, possibly an unprecedented change in the way the senate does business. chief congressional correspondent mike emanuel on capitol hill. >> good evening. no sign of a deal to avert a filibuster. senate republicans are determined to fill the scalia vacancy. the judiciary chairman, chuck grassley said gorsuch deserves confirmation. >> he's a picture of the kind of justice we should have on the supreme court. >> the top democrat rejected it. >> unfortunately, based on judge gorsuch's record at the department of justice, his tenure on the bench, his appearance before the senate, and his written questions for the record, i cannot support this nomination. >> democrats expressed anger over the treatment judge merrick

president trump said today it's time to end the war. but i'm not sure they've got the leverage to do it yet. it gets back to david's very good reporting, can the united states build these coalitions with fighters on the ground. whether the syrian kurds or some sunni militias to get that leverage. >> someone said to me that in the conversation between rex tillerson and foreign minister lavrov, that lavrov read out almost seven or eight examples where american intervention had come to nothing. >> well, that's a standard russian refrain. you americans keep going in and blowing up countries without knowing what is going to come next. and look at the message you've created. and i think we all understand there's a way in which that carries an important proof. i think in this case russia gained the strategic advantage when it intervened in syria in september 2015. and has been in the driver's seat. and u.s. diplomacy has been bootless it just hasn't had the clowt to be effective. what i hear from the white house as they talk about what they ar

trump is barely at 40%. so, yeah, that is historically the lowest we've ever seen in modern time and you can look at that and say, that is a presidency that is in some very unique and some very early peril. that is one possible interpretation here. how about another possible interpretation there? maybe is it possible that the rules have changed, or the rules are different when it comes to donald trump and what these numbers might mean? here's what i mean there. think back to the campaign. think back to the numbers we saw about his approval rating in the campaign, his numbers were historically low. it was unprecedented. we'd never seen, only 35% of people in our poll said he had the temperament to be president. less than 40% said he was qualified. only 40% had a positive opinion of him. we looked at these numbers,lect with these numbers. he did get elected president. he did win the election. he had that core group of supporters. it was just enough. he won the election. so the question becomes, what about that

that doesn't seem that's the trump administration's policy. trump put this out there. he has made clear he is willing to take action in north korea. and i think the shift that you saw in pence's rhetoric standing in front of u.s. troops who are stationed in south korea, very close to the north, shows that when you're on the ground there, this is a much different situation than when you're talking about this back in washington. there are americans and a strong u.s. ally that are right in the danger zone. >> acting president in south korea right now, so a dicey political situation. if you've ever been to the dmz it is the most surreal place on earth. the cold war exists, the fencing, the mines. if you go too far out the weapons come out. >> it shows the difference between pence and president trump. pence being very careful not to engage north korea, discuss north korea. donald trump not afraid to go after north korea and kim jong-un. going after them militarily is a huge risk, because south korea is next door. there are missiles and arms pointed at south korea from the n

and spying on then candidate trump and then president elect trump. it went on for a long time. >> there really is no discuss. andrew mccarthy talks about, who are the investigative arms? if someone were investigating a russian time, would it be the white house doing the investigation? would bit susan rice job? no, it would be the fbi, the nsa or the cia, but it would in no world be susan rice's job. so i think it's pretty important that we understand that millions of americans are caught up in this web of intelligence collection. millions of americans' phone calls are caught up. we can't allow them to look at americans' phone calls without a warrant just because they disagree with us politically. this is very, very dangerous to our republic. >> sean: i really agree. because the issue of privacy. then america becomes a police state. if private confidential information is being revealed and unmasked and leaked, then there is no such thing as privacy. >> i have been asking for reforms to this for a long time. these are the back door searchs many of us a

and so today was all about taxes, which in the trump white house always comes back to trump tax returns. >> this is going to be the biggest tax cut. >> this is not a plan. this is a piece of paper. i'm surprised it didn't come on a napkin at this point. >> we will let you know the specific details at the appropriate moment. >> one could argue the roll-out of the plan was supposed to be the appropriate moment that you would have some of these details. >> it's a great plan. it's going to put people back to work. >> i find it fascinating that blowing this gigantic hole in the debt is not an issue anymore. >> he is the king of debt, and now we're seeing it in realtime. >> t >> the people who will get a gigantic tax cut are corporations and very wealthy people, people like donald trump. >> will the president release his tax returns -- >> the president has no intention. the president has released plenty of information. >> ha! boy, has he got his talking points down, doesn't he? >> this will pay for itself with growth. >> no tax cut has ever paid for itself through growth effect. >> this is pu

i'm glad trump did this. he is no longer obama in the eyes of our enemies, but needs to do morer to close the deal. there is a new sheriff in town. >> do you think there is a moral difference between the usedo of chemical weapons and barrel bombs? >> no, there is a legal difference. not a moral difference. if you're a mother, your baby is dead. but we do have treaties that we signed all over the world, saying we're not going to let one nation use weapons of mass destruction, that's what the chemical weapons treaty is all about. but i will say this, if you kill babies with conventional bombs, it is still a moral outrage. here is what i think assad is telling trump by flying from this base. f you. i think he's making a serious mistake. because if you're an adversary of the united states, and you don't worry about what trump may do on any given day, then you're crazy. >> i have to say, you use the used the initials but i think that's first for "meet the press." we had a few people watching, raised a lot of eyebr

i'm calling into the trump adjustment syndrome. after eight years of weakness and appeasement, the world is not used to seeing strength in the u.s. is leading from the front and not from behind. global leaders is growing accustomed to america not saying radical islamic terrorism, america cutting deals with rogue nation, and the number one state sponsor of terror like iran. they flat up a trail of one of our closest allies, israel. instead of taking a tough stance with russia from the start like what president trump is now doing, the world was used to and so hillary clinton offering to reset relations, you may remember this. >> in anticipation of this important meeting and our time here together, i wanted to present you with a little gift which represents what president obama and vice president biden and i have been saying. that is, we want to reset our relationship. so we will do it together.

"conflicts arise in big fortune for the trump duo. a look at ivanka trump and jared kushner. both are now senior government officials. the white house has hosted dozens of chief executives and a handful of world leaders in recent weeks and it is a rare fried crowd, one that has included the top executives of some of the world's most large automobile, pharmaceutical, tech companies. jared kushner has helped create a new office that trump is calling "the white house office of administration." and his wife still benefit financially from the real estate and investment thate and it makes clear the most powerful washington couple is walking on perilous legal and ethical ground, according to several prominent experts on the subject. that story is available online. we go to houston, texas. caller: thank you for c-span. as a mother myself, i would like to say that if one could trump, i'm sure she is a nice woman and a good mother. her kids look happy. my problem is that i don't think she is relatable to the average american woman. we have the have nothings and the have every things an

in your words -- >> is this, jeremy, just trump being trump or what his core supporters have come to expect? >> i think you're right, craig, that the trump being trump line is something you heard his supporters say over and over throughout the course of the campaign, and they're not changing their mind on that now. they didn't vote for an ideology. they voted for an attitude. and a sense that they would have a president who could get things done. they don't really care what the methods are to get things done, as long as they see the country heading in a different direction. and they, i think, probably find all of these debates over currency manipulation and the export/import bank to be removed from their own pocketbook concerns at home. >> is there a point, jeremy, at which the president will lose that key support? >> i mean, i think that comes if people don't see dramatic improvement in their own lives. trump came into office promising to, very them ra memorably, to america great. if supporters don't see their lives as great, they're not going to support him. i don't think it has to

with trump campaign officials. and carter page is a key way, following this minow, as he swims around with these sharks chasing after him on both sides. >> we're going to talk more about this. after the break, my recent interview with the man or the minow, carl said, this hour at least, carter page, also later, what the president now calls ridiculous, he once called a campaign pledge, a new contract with america, his pledge to get a list of things done in his first 100 days. we'll take a look at that list and what the president is saying now about that list of marking the first 100 days. keeping them honest, ahead. it's league night!?

every chance he gets from trump hotels to trump states to trump government courses. most leently, trump took the opportunity to tout the dessert options offered at his $200,000 membership mar-a-lago club in palm beach, florida. as he described what he was doing at the very moment he received confirmation of the missile launch on syria last week. >> i was sitting at the table. we had finished dinner. we're now having dessert, and we had the most beautiful piece of chocolate cake that you've ever seen. and president xi was enjoying it. >> look at that chocolate cake. it does look delicious. it even has his name on it. but it could be pretty risky ordering a slice if you should ever have the chance and the cash to visit mar-a-lago yourself. why? well, that's thing 2 in 60 seconds. ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ termites. we're on the move. hey rick, all good? oh yeah, we're good. we're good. terminix. defenders of home. and you're about in to hit 'send all' on some embarrassing gas. hey, you bought gas-x®! unlike antacids, gas-x ® relieves pressure and bloating fast. huh, crisis ave

it began with trump accusing president obama of tapping his wires in trump tower. and days later in a very public humiliation of the president, fbi director james comey was compelled to say there is no evidence to support the trump claim. and oh, by the way the fbi is inveigating the trump campaign for possible colsiith the russians to tip the 2016 election in their favor. then there is the one-man drama that is house intelligence committee chairman and former trump transition member republican devin nunes. he tried to help trump find evidence to backhis surveillance claims and instead triggered a torrent of questions about him. like why is he working with the trump white house instead of investigating it? and who let him on to white house grounds? it's a story so strange that even fellow republicans today say they couldn't write this novel. and we haven't even yet mentioned the debacle that was the defeat of trumpcare. over the course of the next hour, we'll bring you a team of experts. we'll get to the bottom of what happened today. what is the next shoe to drop?
